Nissan's stylists deserve some sort of award for designing a nose even uglier than anything that ever came out of Acura or currently comes from Lexus.
And carrying on a theme from the current Altima, the new Murano proves that there is no team of designers in the auto industry that is more inept with styling creases and bulges. There's no harmony at all, with a seemingly random bump here and a random crease there. When the current Altima first came out, one of the magazine testers criticized the styling saying something like "it looks like a Camry that was attacked by a huge swarm of bees". You could compare the new Murano with the outgoing or new generation Ford Edge and make a similar comment.
Just what the automotive marketplace is clamoring for. Perhaps instead of Murano, they should have named it the Grand Juke.
As long as these auto makers and move enough units to stay in business they must be doing something right with the designs. I'm sure every auto maker would love to move 100,000 units of any one vehicle a year. Honestly, for me, part of the allure of an automobile is having something that isn't so common that you see it all the time. I don't mind different as long as its good looking.
Makes the Acura ZDX look classic in comparison, makes the Juke look handsome...
